Some things go through the alternatives system (not sure what yet):

sudo update-alternatives --config editor

Some need you to set the default for a mime type like:

~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list

[Default Applications]
text/plain=code-insiders.desktop

Which adds Open With Visual Studio Code - Insiders (Ctrl+O) to the nautilus context menu.
